Sorry John,
Would LOVE to do this, but the Wifey is on a hen weekend in Ibiza and I've been saddled with the little one

griff · « **Reply #27 on:** August 16, 2013, 03:50 PM »

ah well at least you replied LOL
maybe once MK is out of the way this will give peeps something to focus their BMX attention on

Not sure what the cutoff date for entries is though

Nice one Craig

Was about to bump this thread to see if any Londoners fancied coming on a LONDON ride

It's something to look forward to now MK is over...

Merde only just seen this John. Would be hard for me to get sponsors so close after the London to Cambridge f*@^~#r and it also drops on my birthday weekend which I am scheduled to be out of body. Will sling you some sponsorship in due course though. Top stuff to the lads who have signed up. Good luck, great cause.

No worries Lee - hoping we get a few more lads out but happy to roll along with the team we have

Would have thought a few more Londoners would be up for this though for some reason

If it wasn't for the timings i'd be well up for it, was doing 20 and 30 milers as training for the other monsters. It ain't that bad radsters.....

I'm on another charity ride for the RAC on the 15th Sept!

That does look like a cracking route though, good luck all.

I did have a brief chat with you about this at MK Griff.

Just checked my diary and unfortunately I am in.

So add 1 more to the list,

I will register later when I get in.

Nice one Jimbo

Now let's see how many more slackers we can get!

What bikes are people riding?

I've only got the Silverfox at the mo
Bretty's letting his highest bidder choose out of his collection - nice idea, fingers crossed it's not the mini firebird though

jimwise68 · « **Reply #36 on:** August 20, 2013, 02:32 PM »

haha good luck

I'm using my TA cruiser with a broom handle for the seatpost, padded seat and padded shorts will be the order of the day.

26 miles shouldn't be too bad, will be a blast with a bmx crew.

I did the London - Cambridge on my mountain bike and that wasnt too bad.

griff · « **Reply #37 on:** August 20, 2013, 02:37 PM »

you'll breeze it on that mate

26 is very doable anyway - would def recommend padded shorts if you can (under clothes obviously, no-one wants to see a middle agaed man in spandex). Gel seat cover or a padded seat is also a good idea

I'm gonna go Superman stylee and wear them on the outside

griff · « **Reply #39 on:** August 20, 2013, 02:44 PM »

superman pants might work on a TA if you go for the red and blue theme as well

don't forget the cape

skki3330 · « **Reply #40 on:** August 20, 2013, 09:41 PM »

Welcome aboard Jim

Ill prob be taking the SE Quad or my Redline 500a both are so nice to ride.

So will put all donations through your account Griff.

Have you set a team up yet?

Just a thought chaps, have you thought of going with Virgin Money Giving instead og Justgiving? They don't charge the charities or charge on gift aid etc so all your hard earned funds go direct to where they are supposed to....
